Life stayed the same for SO
When I became a mother, my life changed. I work part time, but most of my time is spent taking care of my LO day and night, which I love. I see by being so involved with my LO, we are developing a strong bond.
Well, with my SO life has not changed for him. Same full time job, same sleep schedule (8 hours straight each night and sleeping in on the weekends), same morning routine uninterrupted by baby.
When I come home from my part time job, I am eager to see my LO. I love on him and feed him and spend time with him. I can't wait to be home with my baby.
When my SO gets home from work, he does not even greet the baby. He does not volunteer to do things with or for baby. I have to ask if he would like to hold baby or if he would change a diaper or would like to feed baby.
I feel sad for my SO. I've moved past hurt so not to waste the energy and to focus on the bond I have with my LO. I want to have a strong bond with my LO and I can't force that on my SO.
